PU¶PubMed·Journal article·Research (general)·3w agoAdvances in the treatment of age-related hearing loss: from molecular mechanisms to targeted interventionsAs the population ages, age-related hearing loss is becoming a global health priority, and a clear map of emerging molecular targets could accelerate the path from lab to clinic.
PU¶PubMed·Journal article·Vestibular·4w agoSilent neurovestibular frailty: a conceptual model integrating vestibular dysfunction, dual-task mobility and cognitive load as candidate contributors to falls, delirium and functional decline in older adultsFraming vestibular dysfunction as a 'silent' contributor to frailty syndromes in older adults could shift how audiologists and geriatricians collaborate on fall-prevention and cognitive-decline screening programmes.＋Save
PU¶PubMed·Journal article·Hearing aids·6w agoHearing technology and the brain: cognitive function in different hearing device usersmay inform counseling about cognitive benefits of hearing device use, but the study design and any confounding variables should be examined before changing fitting or recommendation practices.＋Save
PU¶PubMed·Journal article·Research (general)·7w agoResting-state EEG microstate dynamics indicate altered brain network temporal organization in age-related hearing lossDemonstrating measurable central nervous system changes in age-related hearing loss using EEG microstates strengthens the neuroscientific basis for treating hearing loss early and may eventually guide biomarker development for auditory-cognitive decline.＋Save
PU¶PubMed·Journal article·Tinnitus·3mo agoApplication of neurodegenerative disease treatment strategies in tinnitus: mechanisms, translation, and prospectsFraming tinnitus within the neurodegenerative plasticity paradigm could open new drug and neuromodulation treatment pipelines, potentially accelerating therapeutic development for a condition with no FDA-approved pharmacotherapy.＋Save
PU¶PubMed·Journal article·Hearing aids·5mo agoShort-term hearing aid use reduces auditory cortical responses to speech-in-noise listening among older adults with age-related hearing lossShort-term hearing aid use appears to reduce effortful cortical processing of speech-in-noise in older adults, providing neurophysiological support for early fitting; however, the study is preliminary and does not yet warrant a change in fitting protocols beyond reinforcing...＋Save
